Summer Lovin' in the Winter

Season's greetings from the Lourys

It’s Christmas Day, it’s Hanukkah, Kwanzaa is right around the corner, and if you’re living in North America, it is really cold outside. So I imagine and hope all of you are spending the day and evening in the company of friends and family, indoors, preferably by a roaring fireplace. I figured that, rather than posting an essay or a letter from a reader, I’d use today’s issue of the newsletter to help you stay warm.

Many of you know that my wife, the lovely LaJuan Loury, is a political junkie and now a debate moderator. But she’s also a music obsessive with an encyclopedic knowledge of R&B, pop, funk, rap, and jazz. She’s cooked up a playlist of grooves appropriate for warm summer nights and backyard barbecues, but everyone could benefit from some heat now more than ever. Below you’ll find LaJuan’s “Summer Lovin’” organized as a YouTube playlist, along with a message of thanks from both of us. As LaJuan is fond of saying, “I hope you dance!”
